Re: [postgis-users] tool to load dbf into postgresql table
Thanks for the feedback guys. The -n option on shp2pgsql worked well.

Re: [postgis-users] tool to load dbf into postgresql table
It's been around for years. Since 1.4 I'd guess. When you type shp2pgsql you should see this option: -n Only import DBF file. The OP was how to load a dbf into postgres, you're exporting with pgsql2shp, which will export only the dbf if there is not geometry column in the table being exported.

Re: [postgis-users] tool to load dbf into postgresql table
When did this become available? I'm using pgsql2shp from Postgis version 1.5.3 for Linux, which is pretty current, and that is not a listed command line option.

Re: [postgis-users] tool to load dbf into postgresql table
shp2pgsql is a Postgis utility, not a GDAL one, though GDAL can also do this. Without knowing the platform you are using, recommending a solution is not straightforward. An effective commercial tool, with a free trial, is: http://www.spectralcore.com/fullconvert/ The Postgres Wiki lists a few options: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Converting_from_other_Databases_to_PostgreSQL#DBF_Format Also see the shapefile & DBF loader notes at: http://postgis.refractions.net/download/windows/ Brent Wood --- On Mon, 1/30/12, John Morgan wrote: From: John Morgan Subject: [postgis-users] tool to load dbf into postgresql table To: postgis-users@postgis.refractions.net Date: Monday, January 30, 2012, 3:17 PM Hello, This may be more of a postgresql question, but it is related to my postgis setup.
